Does WhatsApp have an issue with people using their primary Google Voice number as their WhatsApp number?

People have been using GV for WhatsApp for years without a problem. Has something changed?

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

I find the other way around (Telegram) much more annoying, I can sometimes go back in a conversation and break my head off what the flow of the conversation is without seeing that there's a deleted message in the middle!

I commend you. I got annoyed long ago
What’s with “this message has been deleted”, why not just have it completely disappear ?

Sorry if this has been posted before, put there are 154 pages on this topic and I can't look through them.
Does anyone know if there's a way to download WhatsApp on an iPad without already having a WhatsApp account on a smartphone?

Thanks.
